Back in 2008, Canyon Lake started their first year of varsity football and during that campaign the Hawks lost 9 games as CL was overmatched against their Senior laden opponents.

Since that inaugural year, Canyon Lake has returned the favor in winning all but one game….Wimberley.

 2008 Hawks 06 Burnet         49           2010 Hawks 27 Burnet         20
 2008 Hawks 07 Wimberley      41           2013 Hawks 28 Wimberley      13

Canyon Lake beat Ingram both years in district and Brandeis was the other loss and since that school is a couple of classifications above Canyon Lake, then a payback game for them will not be on any radar.

Mountain Valley 7th A Team Taking in Coaches Talk after Win over Wimberley, 38-22

Mountain Valley 7th B Squad Takes Air out of Ball in Win over Wimberley

Mountain Valley’s 7th B team played lock down defense in the second half to wrestle the lead and win over Wimberley last Thursday night at Hawk Stadium, 16-12.

The Texans led the total yardage stat at halftime by a slim 9 yard cushion, 86-77 yards.

Then the second half had that same defense take the Texans to New Mexico when they held Wimberley to a total of 3 yards and goose eggs for the remainder of this game.

That defense allowed Mountain Valley to stage a 12 play 68 yard drive when Devon Morehead crossed the goal line for the eventual winning touchdown.

“They could not stop us because our line blocked so well,” Morehead said while using his head. “We did a great job and and we got better.”

On that fourth down interception, Morehead commented, “All I saw was the ball going straight and I just went after it.”

out of the game of football.

With a affirmative to that request the Hawks would of had a tie game, 20-20.

The Hawks were also lethal on kick-off returns as they had over 250 return yards when Charlie McIntosh ran a kick-off back for their final score 67 yards.

“I was watching my blockers, (Kennith)Jowers, (Allen) Vavrecka, (Austin) Brooks and started jogging waiting for a hole to open up,” McIntosh started. “As soon as the hole opened, Austin Brennan started yelling at me to run…run…run.”

Canyon Lake has perfected the return and heaven knows they had a lot of practice in this game with Wimberley.

Bracken has righted their ship as the Warriors opened with 36 straight points in a win over CASA, 67-21 at Warrior Stadium last Friday night.

“I thought we needed this ball game going into our game with OLH next week,” Head Coach Lloyd Fields said. “We had to rethink our philosophy and our grind it out football but this game we were very business like.”

It was homecoming for Bracken Christian and some of those former players saw a familiar offense in this game.

BCS has been a grind it out type of team and on this night the Warriors had three straight drives consisting of one play for a score. For the game, Bracken had four one play drives and one two play drive.

That was a vintage Warrior night for this Homecoming crowd.

The Rams started the game throwing an interception on their third play when Sam Hilgendorf snagged the errant pass that gave BCS a chance to draw first blood.

Sophomore Running Back Robert Woods running over Bandera

Hawks take Bulldogs for a walk as this year’s version of CL football won their first game with what you could call a complete game victory in Bandera, 27-6.

“We beat them up physically and that was our plan,” Head Coach Charley Drum started. “It is easy to give up when you are 0-6 overall and 0-1 in district, we have learned from what we have done this season…we knew that we would have to come out strong and we played a solid first quarter and we had some big plays.”

Complete Win for the Hawks.

First off, Canyon Lake’s new offense chewed up yardage on the ground with 367 yards at a 7 yard per carry clip.

Second off, Canyon Lake’s defense held Bandera to the lowest yardage total in Hawk history as these Bulldogs never got out of their back yard with just 109 yards of offense.

The Hawk ‘B’ squad started this contest with a whimper as their first four plays accounted for a negative three yards. The game might be a surprise for a club that has been clubbing opponents all year long.

Bandera then marched to the Mountain Valley 9 yard line where the Bulldogs finally ran out of gas.

The nine play drive covering 32 yards would be Bandera’s best drive of the night as these Bulldogs would only amass three more first downs in this game.

Canyon Lake JV took Bandera to the wood shed in their win at Hawk stadium on Thursday night, 30-0.

Lineman: Anthony Wagner, Cameron Susuki, and Chris Schultz

“The journey this year from that great comeback win in Blanco to not finishing games where we played 3 quarters here or there, but never a whole game,” Head Junior Varsity Coach Brian Owens stated. “We had to learn how to finish and we did not give up when this season got tough….we are playing with more enthusiasm.’

The Hawks held Bandera to no yards on their first drive which allowed the offense to set up shop and take a quick 8-0 lead. This drive was for 43 yards on 6 carries and a score that would be all CL would need for a win.

A key for this win was a line that dominated the trenches and running backs that shared the ball in running up the score and yardage.

Bracken Christian scored 42 unanswered points in win over New Braunfels Chrisitan.

The Warriors almost doubled Wildcat’s yardage as BCS’s run game just wore down their opponent as this game got into the third quarter.

NB had a 79 yard drive with a touchdown run of 74 yards on their first drive and that would be the ……. last score.

That NB offense only had 139 total yards for the rest of this game or 3 yards per play which is not a first down in four plays in 6-man football.

It is hard to get any momentum when a defense is clamping down on the run or pass with an average of yards that low.

The Warriors stopped this Wildcat offense four times inside their own 20 yard line, in a bend but don’t break mode throughout this ball game.

Bracken Christian’s running game had Preston Koch and Noah Boriack both breaking the century mark as the Warriors averaged right over 9 yards per carry.

Eleven plays of over 10 yards helped in allowing Bracken’s defense to be fresh when they were called upon to stop these Wildcats.

This game was a put together contest that came about after Giddings State School cancelled their game two weeks ago.

Bracken played well on both sides of the ball as Coy Zunker came away with two interceptions and Sam Hilgenforf also with an interception on this night.

Boriack continued to have some tough runs as Bracken only had two runners with 100 yard rushing for the fifth time in their history.
